Extract from Lord Bo Tien's 1984 Anniversary
Message
"He then illustrated the mission as a lotus flower which blooms in purity and
beauty and yet uncontaminated and untainted by the muddy water from which it
arises. Even if it withers as it would do so in time, all will not be lost as it
will produce seeds which are useful to all. New lotus flowers would bloom in
time to come."
The demise of a temple or mission is not a loss but on the contrary the seeds from the withered flower of that temple or mission may be the seeds for more temples or missions far and wide.
